When my Mum - who was left handed - wrote on paper, she'd shift it to write
sideways, for two reasons: So that her hand wouldn't smudge the ink, and so
she could still see the context of what she was writing.
Do all left-handers write like this, or is it further proof of the freakish
genes I have inherited?
[ Why? I'm interested in further usability discussion with left-handers. ]
